Solution

The correct option is A True
Brass is a metal alloy. It's always made with a combination of copper( $C u$ ) and zinc ( $Z n$ ). By varying the amount of copper and zinc, it is possible to make harder and softer types of brass.
The composition varies from $C u$ =60-80% and $Z n$ =40-20%
Option A is correct
